Conversion Torrs - Pascals

Torrs and Pascals are both units of pressure named after famous and influential people in the world of mathematics and physics. As the smaller unit, Pascals are used to measure smaller densities of pressure and Torrs to measure larger ones. They both carry various prefixes to determine much smaller and much larger measurements. This is a torr – pa converter and is one of our several pressure converters.

How to use the Converter from Torrs to Pascals?

Enter a number into the box above in Torrs and click “convert” for our Torr to Pa calculator to work out an equivalent and present it to you in Pascals. For the opposite conversion, convert Pascals to Torrs.

Formula to Convert Torr – Pa

For this torr to pascal conversion, our calculator uses an accurate formula to give you the best results and we have provided it below if you need to know or use it. For some examples, 8 Torr = 1,066 Pa and 30 Torr = 4,000 Pa

[number of] Torrs x 133.322 = [number of] Pascals

What are Torrs?

Historically, one torr was seen to be equal to one millimetre of mercury, however, since the revision of the units of pressure, this has changed. The torr is named after an Italian mathematician and physicist who worked on the principles of the barometer. Units of Torr have many prefixes, such as the millitorr (mTorr).

What are Pascals?

Pascals are defined as a unit of pressure equivalent to one newton per square metre. They are named after Blaise Pascal who was a French mathematician and physicist and are used in medicine and geophysics where units derived from the Pascal are used. Pascals are slowly replacing the psi units all over the world, except in the United States. Above is our Torr to Pascal converter.
